Macarthur's park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground beneath your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing chinese checkers by the trees. There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the Sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one.
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why. Oh, no!

Westlake was an exclusive neighborhood, but the park was easily accessible to all Angelenos via streetcars that stopped right at the park. A series of bandshells sheltered free outdoor concerts and dances.
There were also boathouses. Boating was a popular pastime, with sailboats, canoes, and rowboats all available for rent. Numerous boats were lazily moving on the surface of the water, the red lanterns at the stern of each canoe casting long and dancing crimson shadows.
In , the Herald-Express held its annual model yacht race at the park, filling the lake with more than 3, miniature boats. In many ways, this picture-perfect event was the last hurrah of the Westlake Park of old.
The park lay in the direct path of the boulevard, causing a detour that city leaders said impeded traffic and stunted development. Several plans were drawn up, including a picturesque ornamental bridge and a daring underwater tunnel. Residents and business owners in the grand old Westlake neighborhood were outraged.
Not only would their park and neighborhood be bisected by a major road, the construction would majorly disrupt the ecosystem of the park.
